Pittsbsrg 3, Washington 8.

WASHINGTON, September o. Inc
third game between the Washington
and Pittsburg clubs was by faT the
most exciting that has been played
here for some time. Whitney again
pitchs d for the Senators, and his swift
out curves were an enigma to the
smoky city men which they failed to
solve. Mccormick was hit hard
throughout the game, but the hits
were 80 scs;te;ed that they awaited
nothing. In the filth inning the home
club made four singles, but could not
score because OF the sharp fielding Of
the visitors. In the first inning Wash.
ipRton made run on base on balls
and two singles. In the second inning
Pittsburg tied the score on an error by
O'Brien, a passed b all and Illness or.
ror. After this inning 1t was impos-
sible for either team to score until the
tenth inning, which was necessary to
decide the contest. Ia the tenth the
home team made four runs on several
base hits and intentional errors on
the pa It Of the Allegheneys, who tried
to prolong the game into the darkness.
In the same inning the visitors hit
Whitney rather hard, scoring two
earned runs, and when Bsrkley, the
third man out, Was retired he left
three men on bases. Daniels has Off
ciated here as umpire for the past two
weeks and not one OF his decisions hae

As I came away the crowd was increas- Ing. At the gates was bustling horde of flower wonders, makers of funeral wreaths, bowling cabmen, men who were trying tc sell plans of the cemetery, with biographi- cal sketches of the prominent people buried there. Seated on the ground was a little fellow in tears. He was manifestly no beg gar and no trader. Several paused to inquire what the matter might be. He ex- plained that his father had struck him and taken from him the pennies be had been saving to buy a bouquet to lay on his mothers grave. The father had gone to 6 wine shop with a couple of companions. The boy sobbed:
 ''She died a year ago, and she had ox- plained to me how was to bring violets to her grave on the year from her death"
 Instinctivelyt every mans hand sought his pocket; there was 6 voluntary tax levy, and a bouquet was purchased and given to the little fellow. He dried his tears, ran quickly to poor, bare grave, but just as he was about to lay his flowers down be hesitated- Tell me, please, % he said to 0 woman who stood near, ''do you think I shall be telling a liei am going to give c bouquet to mamma. I am going to tell her that have bought it with my savings There is no need that she should know that papa has taken them from me, you under stand; 1t would make me feel SO sorry, !" and thereupon realizing that this was genu- inc, we all began to cry like women.

Embarrassing Divination by rainnistr,

Embarrassing Divination by PaInlistry.
 The present rage for palmistry recalls an incident which occurred half a dozen years snce at Bar Harbor. There were staying at one of the hotels a pretty young widow from Baltimore who was versed in the se- crets of chiromancy, and 6 young Kentuck- ian who was par excellence the lion of the season. The widow, for some reason or other, had taken a whimsical dislike 10 the popular southerner and hardly acknowl- edged an acquaintance with him; yet he one day ventured to ask her to read his hand, as she had already deciphered the palms of half the people in the house. The lady at first demurred, but at length think ing, as she afterward explained, that it was simpler to do as she was asked than 10 con test the point. she requested the gentleman to show her his hand He did so, and with an involuntary start of surprise, and a frankneSs which was evidently genuine, she acclaimed,
 "Why, it is the hand of thiefr'
 As the interview took place upon the piazza in the presence of a group of board CTS, the situation of the young man was a finch As tho lady checked herself in evi- dent confusion, be responded with the most perfect tact and self control:
 "Ah! Thank you. That suggests to me a means of making my way in the world that hnd never occurred to me; and since the war we southerners have to be on the look out for opportunities. Y"
